The Fact:

Metepec’s mayor, David López, said in August that “the clear reflection of a job that is being well done in the town, is the tendency of the main crimes going low in the common order and federal as well.”

Análisis:

Evidently, the statement made by the governor of Metepec has the aim to show the town as a successful city on the implementation of security strategies.

This analysis will show how safe or dangerous Metepec has become with the administration of the mayor.

In a year, several media sources have reported an increasing in the crime rate in Metepec. For example, the Alfa Diario site documented a plunder at the facilities of the soccer court Metepec Soccer Ville, located at the south of Metepec with a robbery of around 100,000 pesos.

Quadratín has also reported punctually the increase of crimes in the town. The media reported that in this municipality, the assault to account holders after going to an ATM or coming out of a bank has gone up in the last months. The Tecnologico avenue is considered by this media as the most dangerous in Metepec since it is where most of the cases occur, despite it is also where the building of the local Public Security is located, so out of luck that in 2016 an ATM located at the entrance of the local Public Security office was stolen.

Actually, the reader might remember that on October 17th of 2016, Vicente Bermudez, a judge of this municipality was shot in the head on the street. This judge decreed the ingrain of El Cuini, suspended the extradition of El Chapo, denied a suspension to the leader of the criminal group called Los Zetas and re-sealed a legal protection for El Gil.

The 31st of May of that year, Josefina Chávez, who was 60 years old, and her daughter Stephanie Cossart were reported as missing in Metepec, the last known place where they were seen was in the Jagüey avenue. Two weeks later, on June 16th, they were found dead and in putrefaction on a road that goes to Boquitas beach in Manzanillo, Colima.

In the same year, the 1st of July, federal police arrested Nicandro Barrera aka El Nica, alleged leader and founder of the criminal organizations called La Familia Michoacana and Los Caballeros Templarios, the authorities were offering 3 million pesos as a reward for information that could lead to him.

This is a talk about punctual facts. What do the official numbers say about it?

According to data of the Executive Secretary of the National System of Public Security, there were a total of 5,562 felonies in Metepec in 2015, year that the presidency of the town was taken by López Cárdenas.

In that year, the most frequent felonies were willful injuries, registering 800 felonies, followed by patrimonial crimes for damages in property with 288 and wrongful injuries with 246.

In 2016, the total amount of felonies decreased to 4,576, which means, it decreased in a 17.73%.

During that year the most frequent felonies were again willful injuries with 497 cases, followed by non-violent car robberies with 450 cases, and patrimonial crimes for damages in properties with 179 registered cases.

Now, from January to September of 2017, there have been registered a total of 4,573 felonies, an average of 508 per month and barely 3 less felonies than in the whole 2016, so it is very likely that this year the insecurity will have an increase on the final numbers of the year.

Conclusions:

In the strict sense, this year would be the only one where the felonies in Metepec would experience an increase since in 2014 there were 5,837 crimes before López Cárdenas became the Mayor of Metepec.

However, and as it was registered by different media, the year that had the least number of felonies it is also the one that the crimes with higher impact took place, as the cases of the murdered judge or the arrest of El Nica, mentioned above.

In this way, despite what the Mayor of Metepec assures, the security strategies and the “good job” have been ineffective to protect the physical and material integrity of the town’s citizens, even when Metepec doesn’t appear among the most dangerous cities in the country such as Toluca, Ecatepec and Nezahualcóyotl according to the ENSU (national survey of urban and public security), survey that has been analyzed with detail in this same site.



An example is that in the corner of Tollocan avenue and Pilares, Paseo San Isidro Metepec and the neighborhood of Infonavit San Francisco are red lights for public transport due to the high number of robberies that happen through those routes.

Grading:

The strategies that David López is doing are, for the public opinion, inefficient. Despite the fact that in 2 years there has been a decrease in the numbers, they are becoming of high impact each time. Problems such as assaults in Tecnológico avenue haven’t been able to be stopped even in front of the authorities.

The grading for this case would be FALSE if it wasn’t because of the same hard data, from SESNSP and INEGI look like they are supporting the version of a safe Metepec.

Therefore the grading is QUESTIONABLE.
